Overview

Fiberglass Grating is a lightweight and sound alternative to Steel or Aluminum gratings. Corrosion-resistant and fire-retardant, the product line is ideal for use outdoors or in corrosive environments. McNICHOLS carries Molded and Pultruded construction types in a variety of sizes, resins, and colors. Most Fiberglass Grating has a slip-resistant, gritted surface to help prevent slips and falls.

Ordering

The following selections are important considerations to help you choose the right McNICHOLS® Fiberglass Grating product for your project or application. Please specify:

1

Application

Consider Fiberglass Grating uses and physical requirements such as exposure to chemicals and/or extreme temperatures. Determine fire retardant needs as well as loading, span and support requirements. Several Fiberglass Grating products comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when installed to written standards. We invite you to browse Fiberglass Grating applications in our Gallery.

2

Construction Type

Choose from a variety of Molded (Square or Rectangular) or Pultruded (I-Bar, T-Bar or Wide T-Bar) construction types.

3

Series Type & Name

Determine the series type and name (MS-S-150, MS-I-6010 - DURAGRID®, etc.) of the Fiberglass Grating product for your project. Items that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standard will have this language indicated in the item description of the applicable product.

Product Surface

Determine if your application requires a concave (Molded construction only) or grit surface. We supply several types of grit surfaces for Pultruded products, including fine, medium and coarse grit.

10

Percent Open Area

Choose the percentage of open area desired in the panel or pieces of Fiberglass Grating.

11

Span

Choose the direction the Pultruded bearing bars need to run to support the application load. Bearing bar direction is often referred to as span. Clear span refers to the distance in-between Grating supports. Direction of Molded grid (Rectangular pattern only) and Pultruded bearing bars is an important installation consideration.
